Key result
Modern radiotherapy techniques, including intensity-modulated radiotherapy, image-guided radiotherapy, and stereotactic body radiotherapy, have extended the potential applications and improved the management of soft tissue sarcomas.
This review summarizes current advances and future research directions in radiotherapy for soft tissue sarcomas.
Highlights RT advances in STS; leaves open optimal integration of novel techniques pending prospective trials.
Radiotherapy (RT) is a part of the routine treatment of locally advanced or high-grade soft-tissue sarcomas (STS). However, RT has changed significantly over the last 20 years. Modern RT techniques have extended its potential application in STS treatment. That includes advances in contouring, fractionation regimens, RT techniques and combined treatment. This article summarizes the available data, current strategies and future research directions in RT for STS.
